Gooooooood morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today! Really impressed with the Spearhead soap. Some of the slickest lather I've ever experienced. Scent was wonderful and I really liked the aftershave toner. Two passes and a touch-up with the Game Changer + Wizamet and finished with a spritz of Penhaligon's English Fern. Great way to start the day!

Hope you have a great day my friends!

So ends the run of vintage blade shaves. Switched to an Astra Platinum and it was a blood bath, as I now realized I was pushing on the old dull blade. At least it was sharp enough I didnt really notice. Still a much better result than previous.
